Phenomenal book - major recommendation for both historians and everyone else. Concise and extremely clearly written history of Black antislavery politics prior to the Civil War and the rise of violent strategies of abolitionism ultimately culminating in the Civil War. Both provides new material and recontextualizes more familiar events like the raid on Harper's Ferry

This book is mandatory reading. Through extraordinary writing and research, Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson has presented to us a history that serves as a template for necessary work in our lifetime. This is a book for anyone who has ever felt a desire to fight towards liberation. Thank you Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson —you’ve allowed me to fall in love with history in a way I never have before.
